Textured plaster is sold in the form of a dry powder, to which you need to add a certain amount of water to obtain the required mixture for application to the wall, or ready-made. Any texture has a traditional white color. The required color can be obtained using special dyes. For rooms with high humidity, dyes on a moisture-resistant basis are used.

The appearance of the finishing material determines the type, quantity, size and color of particles, as well as the application technology is determined.

The price of textured plaster for walls depends on the type of composition and the manufacturer.

Depending on the base substance, acrylic, silicate, mineral and silicone textured plaster is distinguished.

To prepare the walls for decorative plaster, it is necessary to clean them of the old coating. The surface must be flat. To do this, you will need a primer, paint brush, putty, putty knife, sandpaper, all of which you can purchase in our online store.

Before applying the facing material, the surface is primed twice with acrylic primer, after which the wall must be well dried. Also, the surface must be treated with an antifungal compound if finishing work is carried out in a damp room. This will affect the resistance of the coating to moisture.

For finishing work you will need the following materials, which you can also purchase from our website:

1. metal and rubber spatulas of various sizes;
2. trowel;
3. rule;
4. grater;
5. level and plumb line;
6. rollers, brushes, paint;
7. masking tape;
8. various devices for imparting texture.

Textured plaster can be applied in one or in several layers. Consumption is 1-2 kg of mixture per 1 m2 of wall.

A small amount of the mixture is spread over the trowel with a spatula. Then the mixture is applied at an angle of about 30 degrees. The material sets quickly enough, so it needs to be applied to small areas. However, in working condition it is very malleable, which allows you to create any pattern on the surface. The layer thickness must be at least 3.5 mm, which includes a layer about 1.5 mm thick to create texture.

The plaster is applied to the corners with a narrow trowel.

You can create a custom drawing in the following ways:

1. With the help of various tools and the use of textured plaster with varying degrees of grain in its composition.
2. With the use of a textured roller for decorative plaster with applied ornament. In this case, to obtain a pattern, the roller must be passed once along the entire length or height of the wall.
3. Using an ordinary roller with various attachments (wrap with a rag, paper, film), which can be rolled in different directions on textured plaster. Then, using a spatula, you can smooth out the sharp corners a little.
4. Using a stamp, attaching and pressing it to the plaster.

After finishing the plastering work, allow the surface to dry completely. This will take at least 24 hours. Then the surface must be treated with a fine sandpaper to remove excess solution. Next, the surface is primed.

The surface should first be painted in a darker tone using a roller or a brush with a long nap, and after drying, cover the protruding parts of the textured surface with light paint using a roller or a brush with a short nap. A light tone will add volume to decorative plaster. If the finished texture already contained a coloring pigment, you can simply highlight the texture with a different shade.

As a result of finishing with textured plaster, your surface will not only have an attractive appearance, but also become practical and unpretentious in further use. Such a surface can be easily cleaned and washed without the use of special detergents. The finishing lacquer coating prevents the formation of mold and mildew on the wall surface, even in rooms with high humidity.
